All aboard!

Another early wake up followed by a relaxing morning. Breakfast was 2 savoury pork bao and iced kopi (coffee) for B and 2 boiled eggs, kaya toast and hot kopi for me ($12.80 total). We went back to the hotel to relax some more and pack our bags. We checked out at 11:45am, left our bags and walked over to Bugis to grab a quick and small lunch from Bread Talk (same concept as Bread Top), total $3.40.
We originally planned to get the MRT to the cruise terminal but decided to take a taxi, which was under $10.
I had read the cruise terminal was the most disorganised place in Singapore, and when we first got there, I could see why. We dropped our bags off so lined up outside for the security check. There were two ships boarding at the same time which apparently they don’t usually get, hence the chaos. They seemed unprepared and people were cutting in front of the line because they didn’t know where to go, only to be sent back. Once in the terminal, we lined up for security which was more organised. The Aussies behind us asked if we were English because I was so pale 😂 B really enjoyed that! Through security, check in, fully automated immigration where Singapore once again verified my thumb print. Onto the gangplank where a nice man politely stole our passports! Luckily I read about handing your passports over, we were laughing that the Australian Government would ask us how we lost our passports and we would have to explain we willingly and happily handed them over to a nice man 😊 once on board we walked around, checked out our room, unpacked, had some coffee and tea and a snack and finally made it to dinner, 8pm. Samosas,
Sweet and sour pork and chocolate almond cake for me (7/10) garlic butter scallops, prime rib and peach and blueberry crumble for B (6/10).Read more
